"Seed of the Future"

Emmy Award–winning writer and documentary filmmaker, Dayton Duncan, has a beautiful new book about the history of Yosemite National Park and the creation of the national park system. “Seed of the Future: Yosemite and the Evolution of the National Park Idea” features a compelling narrative, accompanied by archival images and full-color landscape photographs, that tells the story of how the world learned of Yosemite, flocked to it, nearly destroyed it and finally saved it. The book was published just ahead of Yosemite’s 150th anniversary in 2014. Duncan discusses his book and his continued focus on the America’s national parks.
